Hello from the other side of the world!
Sharing you bits of wonder, art, culture or just oddities here in the world. I’m no expert but trying my best to dump some of the coolest ideas I have collided.
Topic: Parallel/Multiverse
Is it just me? That I believe in the parallel universe/multiverses at the beginning even without I have no proofs to back up to. I mean, I’m not a reader of some sort and I don't usually spend my time in science stuffs. But right now, I want to explore some.
Have you heard of quantum mechanics?
Here's a brief overview:
According to my research, quantum mechanics, though firmly tested, is so weird and anti-intuitive that famed physicist Richard Feynman once remarked, “I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics.” Attempts to explain some of the bizarre consequences of quantum theory have led to some mind-bending ideas, such as the Copenhagen interpretation and the many-worlds interpretation.
But let us define quantum mechanics first and how is it related to our topic today?
To the average person, quantum mechanics is the convoluted, science fiction-y branch of physics. A radical new theory plays into that, proposing that parallel universes exist and interact with each other ‒ and that scientists may be able to test for them.
Prof. Howard Wiseman, a physicist at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia, along with his collaborators Dr. Michael Hall, also of Griffith University, and University of California, Davis mathematician Dr. Dirk-Andre Deckert, published their new "many interacting worlds" (MIW) theory in the journal Physical Review X. They posited that other universes are real, exist in vast numbers and exert influence on each other.
By discovering Gravitational force, the Scientists proved that the flat earth theory is wrong. But, the existence of gravitons is still questioned. Likewise, the introduction of Quantum mechanics or Quantum physics, a new branch in physics, and the physical properties of nature was posted as atomic state. But, Scientists are still mystified about quantum physics.
As it states the possibility of dual state of an atom, it is differed from Quantum Physics. The dual state of an atom is called as “quantum superposition.” If this superposition is applied to an event, it routes to two possibilities in a similar universe without any interaction. This is only possible if any alternate reality exists in the same universe. But, the concept of quantum decoherence examines that this is not possible due to observation by an observer.

According to Vicky Stein , Daisy Dobrijevic , parallel universes are no longer just a feature of a good sci-fi story. There are now some scientific theories that support the idea of parallel universes beyond our own. However, the multiverse theory remains one of the most controversial theories in science.
Our universe is unimaginably big. Hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of galaxies spin through space, each containing billions or trillions of stars. Some researchers studying models of the universe speculate that the universe's diameter could be 7 billion light-years across. Others think it could be infinite.
But is it all that's out there? Science fiction loves the idea of a parallel universe, and the thought that we might be living just one of an infinite number of possible lives. Multiverses aren't reserved for "Star Trek," "Spiderman" and "Doctor Who," though. Real scientific theory explores, and in some cases supports, the case for universes outside, parallel to, or distant from but mirroring our own.
That mysterious process of inflation and the Big Bang have convinced some researchers that multiple universes are possible, or even very likely. According to theoretical physicist Alexander Vilenkin of Tufts University in Massachusetts, inflation didn't end everywhere at the same time. While it ended for everything that we can detect from Earth 13.8 billion years ago, cosmic inflation in fact continues in other places. This is called the theory of eternal inflation. And as inflation ends in a particular place, a new bubble universe forms, Vilenkin wrote for Scientific American in 2011.
Those bubble universes can't contact each other because they continue to expand indefinitely. If we were to set off for the edge of our bubble, where it might butt up against the next bubble universe over, we'd never reach it because the edge is zipping away from us faster than the speed of light, and faster than we could ever travel. "This picture of the universe, or multiverse, as it is called, explains the long-standing mystery of why the constants of nature appear to be fine-tuned for the emergence of life," Vilenkin wrote. "The reason is that intelligent observers exist only in those rare bubbles in which, by pure chance, the constants happen to be just right for life to evolve. The rest of the multiverse remains barren, but no one is there to complain about that." Vilenkin's explanation implies that in some of the infinite bubble universes outside our own, there could be other intelligent observers. But in every instant that passes, we get farther away from them, and we will never intersect. One problem with the many-worlds interpretation, however, has been that it’s fundamentally untestable, since observations can only be made in our world. Happenings in these proposed “parallel” worlds can thus only be imagined. MIW says otherwise. It suggests that parallel worlds can interact on the quantum level, and in fact they do, as this video explains:
What might your life look like if you made different choices? Maybe one day you’ll be able to look into one of these alternative worlds and find out. :))) I would really still believe the parallel universe exist because the world is infinite. We have tons of galaxies at the space. Who knows there could still be us in another lifetime. That would be awesome yet sometimes, a lil scary.
Do you believe in multiverse?
No
Yes
Maybe
Idk and IDC
